Asia Rugby committees members reflect 80% of member unions representation across all sub-regions coverage; aiming at a strong drive towards the regional Association deifying principles of Equality, Transparency and Accountability. This pushes female representation in committees to 30% being more closer to Asia Rugby target of 40% to be achieved until 2024.

Asia Rugby EGM PresidentAsia Rugby President Qais Al Dhalai commented: “From day one of being elected as President we ensured to set up committees to reflect efficient and effective governance practice within the regional association.

The nine standing committees play a pivotal role in gathering the 34 member unions’ demands, challenges and inspirations transforming the regional body’s executive committee outcomes to be more realistic”

Al Dhalai further Added “You can always conduct business without committees however you will be missing an important element that Asia as a continent is massively diverse, to ensure all voices are properly heard we ensured the creation of these multi-functional standing committees”
